Google Voice Incoming/Outgoing Options!

With a “pick X amount of numbers that you have unlimited calling to” and Google Voice, you have all the ingredients for free incoming and outgoing calls without using a single minute.
The guide below will show you how.

1) First thing to do is register with Google voice. Get a phone number with whatever number you want to give out. This will be your “new cell phone” number. When you register with GV, you will be asked to add a phone to your account. Add you cell phone and finish setting it all up on their website. (You probably want to import all your contacts into GV so callers don’t need to announce their names).

2) Now call up sprint and give them you GV number and tell them that you want that as one of your free numbers.

NOW ALL YOUR INCOMING CALLS ARE FREE! (Provided that your callers call your GV number – not your real cell number

How does this work you ask? Well, the caller calls your GV number and Google calls your cell. It shows up on your cell bill as your GV number calling. And that number is free to call you!

Now for the outgoing…

PLEASE NOTE THE PERSON YOU CALL WILL SEE YOUR GV NUMBER – NOT YOUR REAL CELL NUMBER

Method Number 1: (Paid) Get MagiCall HERE!. Install and start program. Copy the attached file to /device/my documents/magicall (thanks Solange82200) overwriting MG2RULE. Reopen the program GUI. It will ask if you want to load the new rules. Click Yes. Modify the rule called Google Voice with your info. (your phone number, leave the commas and then your pin. Leave the rest alone).
Set up whatever rules you want and enjoy free outgoing calls.

Please note that you should not set up any new rules before the import as all your old rules will be overwritten.
Thanks goes to Biker1 (and sorry that you lost your rules).
Thank his helpful post here!

*EDIT -Video now on-line. Go here to see it. Then go here to thank the maker.

NOTE: If you go from using 800 minutes a month to 0 sprint might notice. use this to not go over your minutes...
Maybe only place outgoing only or whatever.

You MAY send me PM'S for help with setiing up MagiCall but I MAY NOT be able to answer all your questions.

Oh....don't forget to unrar the file. Rared b/c of forum rules...

Is there any way to tell MagiCall to only use Google Voice when dialing a non-mobile number? Mobile to mobile is free with Sprint, I'd be nice to just allow normal dialing on mobile lines and then use GVoice for all other #'s.

The only way would be to put it in as a rule - number by number or as a group.
MagiCall has no way of knowing where the number goes to.

Hi all. Just finished reading the entire thread and you are all amazing people. One thing I am a bit confused about.
Those of you who are praising idialer with icontact, i used to have it on my cell but I had to uninstall it. I am not sure if there is a way around the following problem:
I have thousands of contacts. If I wanted to find one, all I was able to do was put in the first letter and then I had to manually scroll through all the contacts beginning with that letter.
For example, if I needed someone by the name of Czeg, I pressed C and then had to scroll through all the C's until I got to Czeg. This is a big pain in the neck and i didn;t see anyone addressing it.
Is it because there is a way around it somehow? or is it because not too many people care about this problem with idialer and icontacts?

I use GoVoMo and you can search contacts with it.

I am new to the Sprint side having come over from Nextel. I am on the "Unlimited Data 450" plan. Does anyone know if calls to Google Voice are billed as landline minutes, or the "unlimited" cellular rate?

My apologies if this should have been in the Sprint section, but it does seem to have direct applicability to this thread.

I have been using idialer and that works for me is magical ...
